Summary
In this funny romantic series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it… Perfect for fans of funny, lighthearted Regency Romances with a little bit of steam.
Reverend Shackleford was at a loss. He'd truly believed that in marrying his eldest daughter Grace to an extremely wealthy peer of the realm, his problems would be over. But as the Reverend was now beginning to realize, it wasn't sufficient to have a wealthy Duke in the family if the daughter he was trying to marry off had the manners of a stable hand. And to Reverend Shackleford's knowledge, his second eldest daughter Temperance is the exact opposite of her name and a harpy to boot. In fact the Reverend very much feared that unless he could find someone to teach her at the very least how to hold her temper, he would be stuck with her forever. But as he was always telling his curate, the Almighty works in mysterious ways. Indeed, Reverend Shackleford believed his prayers were finally answered when he found the very person to take Temperance in hand.

Poor narration
I have read and enjoyed these books and this was a bit of a disappointment. Why the voices all have to be so nasal and silly I don’t know, especially Adam the romantic hero!

Light and funny book
Very entertaining Mark Elstob has the perfect voice his female voices are so funny which makes the book come to live brilliant choice of narrator. The female narrator is also good worth getting this book if you would like to hear a funny regency romance

Bad narration
I get that it’s a “comic novel”, but giving ALL the characters awful high pitched nasal voices really grates after a while. Deirdra Whelan is great, but she only does about 10% of the book, which is not enough to save it from the Mark Elstob’s awful choices.
The story is not good enough to survive the narration.

Awful male narration
The male narrator wasn’t easy to listen to. Particularly when doing voices of each character.

Narration a travesty
Who on earth chose Mark Elstob to narrate these delightful stories, he makes the characters into cariactures with his ridiculous voices. Adam was high and whiny where as a man who was a much desired prize would have a deep smooth voice. Even when he was saying lines which were supposedly whispered quietly he couldn'd even manage that. The only truly good voice was the Vicar. I gave the narration 2 because Deirdra Whelan was ok.
